Birth Announcement

Meet Bir, the first hatchling of Mr. Sapphire's ball python business. As you can see, he/she is aberrant, i.e., its pattern quite different than the "pretzel" shapes seen on most normal ball pythons.

Why is it that whenever I think of descriptions, I always come back to Monty Python's Dead Parrot skit? (Norwegian blue - lovely plumage!).

"Bir" is Turkish for "one." How's that? A language that's first number sounds the same as something you'd pull from the fridge at the end of a hard day. Little critter is cute. And it's ours. And *I* didn't have to give birth this time :)
